“…not for their cold pavement-colored eyes.”


Chicago: City on the Make: An Homage to Nelson Algren


Excerpt from pg.68: “And all the stately halls of science, the newest Broadway hit, the endowed museums, the endowed opera, the endowed art galleries, are not for their cold pavement-colored eyes. For the masses who do the city’s labor also keep the city’s heart. And they think there’s something fishy about someone giving them a museum for nothing and free admission on Saturday afternoons.”
